  • Literally a fucking crime against humanity…

    The term “forcible transfer” describes the forced relocation of civilian populations as part of an organized offensive against that population. It is a crime against humanity punishable by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The fifth punishable act of genocide is the forcible transfer of children from one protected group to another. The definition was part of a draft provided by the UN Secretariat that was used as the foundation for the 1948-adopted Genocide Convention.

    It’s understandable for someone to be ignorant of that, absolutely inexcusable for someone to actual think it would be a good idea just because no one with a room temp or above IQ told them.

    You’re out advocating for genocide as the fucking ethical path forward.

    I hope you don’t actually believe what you type.











  • Just say it.

    At least with that there’s no doubt if it’s intentional or not.

    When I was right out of college I was interviewing for an internship at a pretty relaxed non-profit a friend worked out, and I was interviewing with her very attractive friend, all of us in our mid to late 20s.

    Her boobs were like, fully out. Shirt ubuttoned down past her bra, not something you’d see in an office but maybe at a college party at the end of a night. I did what you did an just tried to ignore it and maintain eye contact

    About 15 minutes into it my friend had to come into the office to grab something, took one look at us and said “(interviews name), your tits are out” and then left without saying anything else.

    We both died laughing and she got a little embarrassed. But it was that weird grey area if I said something and it was intentional I’d be a huge dick.

    No one is intentionally walking around with unzipped pants.

    So everyone will appreciate the quick heads up.


  • No Douglas Addams story ever really ends…

    Whether you read to the end of the material or quit on a random page, you’re always just getting a small glance into a much larger world where nothing is self contained and everything is connected.

    Like, dude wrote a five book trilogy, it’s obviously not a normal story structure. Even more than Tolkein, his work is about the journey and not a destination.

    So yeah, would have loved for it to keep going. But an ending of “everyone keeps going on adventures” is the norm for Addams, I don’t think there’s ever a “happily ever after” and that’s kind of why his stories have always felt so real to me.

    Same with Heinlein and other early pulp scifi writers, it was a job even if it was a passion, you always left it open ended and you always left them wanting more. Because you might need to write a sequel for next month’s rent.




  • For over 20 years now…

    The first investigation was early 2005

    But this was an international ring, other countries had other sources as well, and have for just as long.

    Look at Jimmy Saville in the UK, everyone knew but no one said anything till he died, and then some random henchmen were all that went down.

    Epstein and Saville weren’t the only ones, and others are almost certainly still operating as open secrets right now.

    That’s the real reason every government is slow walking this. People implicated in the Epstein files, would snitch on people from other rings. Those people would snitch on the rest of their ring. And then another start it again.

    It’s basically how the aliens from Solar Opposites works, and it results the same: exponential growth.

    If people on the Epstein list are prosecuted then virtually every trafficking ring and every other shady thing billionaires get up to will also likely come out. Everyone of them would sell the rest out to save themselves.

    And that’s why we need to do it before they die, and they can still be pressured to snitch.


  • It’s been a minute since I learned electrical stuff, so I might be off on details.

    Like maybe a pretty steady amperage from the cord and it’s regulated inside thru resistance or something more complicated?

    But that’s the general gist of why not all parts of the equation can be static.

    The advertised Wattage is also “max” it can use/produce.

    Like a 850watt power supply can handle an 850 power watt draw, but if all the computer is doing is playing YouTube, it’s going to draw a lot less amps, and produce a lot less watts as a result. If it needs more watts, it “pull” more amps to make them

    Steam turbines are actually self regulating because of this. The more power being used, the more amps are automatically produced. Once you spin it up it manages its own speed.


  • Amps are the variable part of the equation…

    There are other parts of the equation, every one being constant would make every electrical component binary. Either full power or no power.

    That’s why we really only see variable amperage on battery charges to force a slower charge rate for the health of the batter. On something like a radio, you could think of the volume knob as amperage control. The more power, the louder the sound comes out of the speaker.

    A steady amperage current would “lock” the volume at one setting forever.


  • Basically, it can make you money the same way crypto and every other multi-level marketing scheme before it can, by selling people on the idea that they an also sell the idea…

    That’s only if they own stocks in it…

    With AI they got grifted into believing they could “learn skills” that would be valuable once AI became popular. Instead they sunk their own time and electricity into training the AI so people without those “vibe skills” could get the same result. Everytime they’re trying to get an AI to do something, all they’re doing is making it easier for the AI to do it next time.

    They’ve literally been making themselves redundant this whole time



  • Quality Control is what you’re paying for…

    For pretty much any type of product where quality shouldn’t matter you can buy cheap, normal, expensive, insane.

    100/1000 of cheap ones might have sleight flaws.

    10/1000 normal may have flaws.

    1/1000 expensive

    And 1/100,000 for the insanely expensive ones may have a flaw.

    So even if their optimal performanceshould be the same, the more expensive it is, the less likely the manufacturer lets subpar products out to market. Often it’s vertically integrated and as batches fail they get bumped down to a different label

    Do the test again, they might score the same. But do it enough, and you’ll see the expensive ones eventually pull out ahead by a very sleight amount
